You need to solve for x and then graph the solution on the numberline.  You can identify whether the point on the line is a solid or an open circle.  Since the inequality symbol is Greater than, the circle is open (not filled in).   In order to be a closed cirlce, the inequality needs to also be EQUAL TO.<BR>\n" );
